I Your friend.
EARL C. FITTS.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the large
number of my friends who tendered me their
vote and support in the first primary for re-
election to the office of Sheriff. In this man-
ner they proved that they turned a deaf ear
to slanderous tongues. Likewise, that they ap-
preciate and reward a man when he has served
them faithfully and well. No slandering tongue
can name any time that I have failed to re-
spond to the call of duty while I have been hon-
ored by the confidence that the citizens of
Montague County placed in me when they elected
me Sheriff. When men ot weaker caliber can
find no wrong in a man’s execution of duty,
then those men resort to mud-slinging and de-
famation of character.
no special favors.
I understand that it has been said that
opponent intends to ‘‘clean up” Nocona. „
friends. I have aided in KEEPING Nocona clea”.
Nocona is a splendid town when compared f»
many towns of its own size and even with some
of much larger size. No town is without fault.
If such a condition existed, there would be no
need for a Sheriff. As king as human nature
exists, there will always be elements of lawless-
ness. And every time such conditions have been
found in Nocona and every other town in Mon-
tague County, I have responded to the call.
I can promise you that I will represent the
voice of the people when I execute the law.
NEVER have I been any ONE MAN'S candidate
in any race. No one can ever say of Dick Law-
rence that he was Mr. “So & So's” man in some
election. I run strictly on my record of a job
well done and 1 ask you to pay no heed to the
rumors you have heard, hut ask yourself this
question: “Could a man always be present at
the call of duty if he were guilty of these ac-
cusations.” Then, you will answer: “No, these
things they say against Dick Lawrence are not
so. He has been a splendid, fair-minded, fear-
less Sheriff, and 1 am going to justly reward
him by casting my vote for Dick Lawrence for
Sheriff on August 22."

Without faith it is impossible to
please God (Heb. 11:6). The op-1
posite is also true, namely, that
faith always pleases God. As we
read the Bible and consider Chris-
tian experience, it is evident that
God is constantly longing to show
Himself strong in behalf of them
who believe Him (II Chron. 16:9).
Abraham was not Uie first man
to walk by faith. Before him came i
such men as Abel, with his accept- I
able sacrifice; Enoch, with his walk |
pleasing to God; Noah, who believed :
and obeyed; and others.
But Abraham was nonetheless a
pioneer of faith. He had many other
noble characteristics, and was a
man of such distinction that his
memory is venerated by Jews and
Mohammedans as well as Chris-
tians. Yet his real claim to an out-
standing place in history is that by
faith he responded to God's sov-
ereign act in choosing him to begin
a new nation, to be His chosen peo-
ple.
We
about faith:
I. Faith Makes Demands.
In the very nature of things, faith
calls for action consistent with be-
lief. “Faith without works is dead"
(James 2:20), that is, not a real faith
at all. In Abraham's life (and in
our life) faith calls for
1. Separation (Gen. 12:1).
“Get thee out” was God’s com-
mand to Abraham. To accomplish
His divine purpose God had to take
him out of the heathendom of his
fathers, and start anew. It is His
command to His followers today,
“Come out from among them, and
be ye separated, saith the Lord.”
Who will doubt that this is the
crying need of the church today, for
instead of the church being in the
world seeking to win it to Christ,
worldliness has come into the
church and devitalized its message.
2. Obedience (Gen. 12:4-6; Heb.
11:8, 9).
“Abram departed, as the Lord
had spoken" (v. 4). He didn’t know
where he was going, but he did know
who had called him, and he went.
Faith knows God, and obeys Him
without hesitation and without res-
ervation.
Obedience is a virtue that needs
to be revived, in the home, in school,
in society, and especially in our re-
lation to God, for there surely should
be no disobedient children in the
family of God. He merits and ex-
pects obedience.

Since farming is a family busi-
ness. a partnership in which the
homemaker is as responsible for
success or failure as her husband.
Industry, energy and wise manage-
ment on her part can add to and
conserve the family income. Lack
of these qualities can disrupt the
family living program. It is the
Home Management Supervisor’s
job to help the farm family in
every way possible. One way to
achieve that goal is to emphasize
| .sound home management. The
way a home is managed can be
the difference between success and
failure on the farm. There are fam-
ilies on pretty good farms living
a hand-to-mouth exlstance simply
because of ixxir management. Ex-
tending credit to families in such
circumstances would be like pour-
ing water into a sieve. Of course,
many of these small farmers need
just a bit of advice and sympath-
etic guidance to improve their sit-
uation. And many are surprised to
learn how much can be accomplish-
ed by conserving cash income and
by producing family planning,
proper knowledge of the work and
above all the cooperation of the
entire family. Unless they all pull
together they cannot get very far.
Goals are set up tor the pro-
duction of family living at home.
We urge that a family endeavor j
to produce most of its living right i
| on the farm. And it can be done.
I too with a little hard work and
planning. Of course, when families
can produce at home varies ac-
cording to such factors as weather,
because too much rain like we’ve
been having an curtain home gar-
den production rather sharply.
Conserving of cash income means

expenses, for a better standard of1
living, for medical care or for,
debts. It can also take up some of
the slack on those crop failures or
ether things that have a way of!
slipping up on us.
Improving living standards Is a:
most .important part of the Farm I
Security program. When a farm-
er applies for a loan, the county j
supervisor helps him map out a!
sound operation plan. At tlie same I

An assured reliance on the Word
of God is a part of faith,
made a promise to Abraham,
accepted it, and worshiped,
was no questioning, no bargaining,
but simple trust in God’s word. In
fact, there was anticipation of even
greater things to come (Heb. 11:
10).
We need men of vision and that
means we need men who by faith
can see the unseen, who can see “a
city which hath foundations” even in
the midst of destruction and disor-
der. “In God We Trust" must be
more than a motto on our coins if
America is to survive.
II. Faith Brings Results.
The world wants to know if a
thing works before accepting and
approving it. Well, faith really docs j
work! It brings
1. B.essing (Gen. 12:2, 3).
God is always on the giving hand, i
"I will bless” was His word to
Abraham, not only for Abraham |
himself and for the great nation of ;
which he was to be the father, but I
to “all the families of the earth"
(v. 3). How gloriously that promise
was fulfilled in the coming of Christ
our Redeemer, who also was a "son
of Abraham" (Matt. 1:1).
2. Protection (Gen. 12:3).
“I will curse him that curseth '
thee." That promise to Abraham is ,
still binding and valid. God is not !
through with Israel. The nations and |
persons who have vented their !
hatred upon the children of Abra-
ham need to take notice.
We need to be reminded that God's
protecting care is just as sure over
us who bear His name. We too are
“safe in Jehovah's keeping," even
in what is perhaps the darkest hour
in the history of the world. Faith in
God brings to us the protection of
H>s almighty hand.
3. Fulfillment of Promise (Heb.
1 11:11. 12)
: The entire promise to Abraham ,
{ hinged on the birth ot a son, some- I
j thing which was, humanly speaking,
beyond all possibility. But because
Sara, joining Abraham in believing I
God, "judged him faithful who had I
promised." it came to pass.
"With God all things are possible"
(Matt. 19:26) He delights in doing
the impossible in response to the
faith ot Him children. Apart from :
that tact we might ba fearful, yea
despondent, but "with God" we say '
again, "All things are possible.”

and family expenses
Here are some examples of home I
management to illustrate what I
careful planning and a home pro- !
ducton program can do. These are |
actual cases but ficticious
are used.
First we'll discuss the James I
family who came to our F. S. A |
fur a loan in December.
They were anxious to begin I
farming tor themselves for there:
was a family of five children. You I
know, seven hungry mouths three |
times a day take a lot of food.;
When they made application for'
the loan their only possessions were ;
their household goods—not even ;
an old cow or a few chickens— |
just household goods.
The Jameses were visited just re- j
i centlv. They have a half acre gar-
| den. fenced, and it's one of the
. best gardens I've seen. Every foot
of the ground is well-cultivated
and planted. Last year Mrs. James
canned 700 quarts of food, and
she's planning to do even better
thin that this year. Tl'n^o five
children are good examples of well-
fed, healthy boy» and girls. And
the happy outlook of the entire
family and the pride with which j
I they discuss their plans and I heir I
I progress Is an inspiration to all I
of us.
